> I've rgreped for KDE_NO_IPV6 in /etc/ and ~/ and not found anything. It'll be one of thos eundocumented KDE features. The variable is only effective when set, but noone and nothing sets it, so you do it yourself. You need to put it in a place where it is set for login shells, this is to some extent distro-dependent. On SusE it's /etc/profile.d/kde.csh setenv KDE_NO_IPV6 1 /etc/profile.d/kde.sh KDE_NO_IPV6=1 export KDE_NO_IPV6 You can call the files whatever you like but you musn't change the extension. Make sure they're world-readable. You will need to logout completely for the change to be effective, if your system's a real bastard you'll need to reboot. It's not been long enough for me so far to be able to tell whether this fixes the problem of "failing" name server lookups.
